Our Catholic Appeal is an annual opportunity for every member of our faith family to support the life-changing work of the Diocese of Orlando. Gifts to Our Catholic Appeal fund a wide variety of ministries that serve our nine counties in ways that no parish could accomplish alone.

HOW YOUR GIFT TO OUR CATHOLIC APPEAL HELPS OTHERS

Your gifts to Our Catholic Appeal are the sole source of funding for 28 ministries that benefit every parish, mission and school in our diocese. In addition, your gifts provide critical support for outreach programs such as Catholic Charities of Central Florida, Hope CommUnity Center, and our schools in the Diocese of San Juan de la Maguana in the Dominican Republic.

Because of your generosity, we are able to:

• support 35 seminarians in their formation

• provide food, medical care and housing to those in need

• organize spiritual enrichment opportunities for both the lay community and our clergy

• train parish catechists and certify new lay ecclesial ministers

• evangelize through diocesan-wide media

• meet with elected officials to discuss issues that affect all people, Catholic and non-Catholic alike

For information on the great work made possible through a gift to Our Catholic Appeal, visit our website, https://www.cfocf.org/oca. Contact our Gift Manager, Crystal St. Julien, at [email protected] or call (407) 246-7187.

EDGE & LIFE TEEN—meet at 6pm in Emmaus Hall Sunday, February 18 and will attend the 7pm Lenten Mission together.

BIBLE STUDY—Groups do NOT meet this week because everyone is going to the Lent Mission, right? Right! Resume next week.

FAMILY FORMATION—The next Family For-mation session is scheduled for Sunday, March 4, at 12:30pm in the chapel.

DIOCESE & COMMUNITY EVENTS

Regulations for Fast and Abstinence

Ash Wednesday, February 14 and Good Friday, March 30, 2018 are days of fast and abstinence. Fridays of Lent are also days of abstinence. Fasting is to be observed by all 18 years of age and older who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday. On a fast day one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices are allowed. Abstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. When in doubt concerning fast and abstinence, the parish priest should be consulted.

Fasting, almsgiving, and prayer are the three traditional disciplines of Lent. The faithful and catechumens should undertake these practices seriously in a spirit of penance and of preparation for baptism or of renewal of baptism at Easter.

211918 20 22 23 24Read today’s Gospel before

you go to church (Mark 1:12-15). Write down two things you learned and keep it with

you throughout the day.

Grow in your faith by believing that God is there

for you. Entrust your worries to God and know he

will take care of it.

Call Catholic Relief Services (877-HELP-CRS or www.catholicrelief.org) to see how you can help.

every day of Lent.

282625 27 1 2 3Every Sunday in Lent is a “Little Easter.” Spread joy by smiling at everyone you

meet, regardless of how you feel.

Lent is a stressful time of year for priests. Offer to

perform some act of service for your parish. Ask at the

rectory for suggestions.

Read the seven penitential psalms in the Old Testament book of Psalms that express remorse for sins: 6, 32, 38,

51, 102, 130, and 143.

Just for today, don’t listen to the radio while you drive.

Pray instead or listen to sacred music.

Today, replace each snack with a prayer, or, if you do

snack, say an extra prayer of thanksgiving that you have

enough to eat.

When older people become less active, they can also become forgotten. Visit a

senior you know, take one to lunch, and just listen.

Attend a Reconciliation Service or go to Confession

and experience God’s forgiveness.

754 6 8 9 10Take one idea from

the rest of the week.

Ask God for a new grace today that will bring you

closer to him.

Make a fresh start on your Lenten journey

today. Renew your Lenten observances.

Pick one Corporal Work of Mercy to do: give food/drink to the hungry/thirsty,

shelter homeless, clothe the naked, visit the sick or imprisoned, bury the dead.

tackling something difficult you’ve been putting off.

141211 13 15 16Laetare Sunday

to a local charity.

Resolve to go the entire day without judging or

criticizing anyone.

Today, do one act of kindness for someone

without expecting thanks in return.

Consider making today a day of fasting. When

you feel hungry, remind yourself of those for whom

hunger isn’t a choice.

St. Patrick’s Day St. Patrick evangelized

Ireland. In his honor, explore ways to support your parish religious education program

or youth group.

211918 20 22 23 24Choose someone who

has passed away or needs extra help as your Mass

intention today.

Solemnity of St. Joseph St. Joseph served God

faithfully. What God said, he did. Resolve today to fulfill your responsibilities without

complaining.

Psalm 136 is a song about God’s mercy. Read through it and think of all the ways God has shown you mercy

this Lent.

Deny yourself something you would like to buy.

Then, give the money you saved to the poor.

Spend time before the Eucharist in prayer and adoration. Or find time

when the church is open to be with Jesus.

Today, drink only water. Pray for those who can’t

afford the luxury of having iced coffee, soda, etc.

Start spring cleaning for Easter: Vacuum, dust, and straighten the rooms of the house you use the

most to prepare for Jesus’ Resurrection.

282625 27 29 30 31Palm Sunday Today’s Gospel narrates the events of Holy Week. Place

yourself in the scene and “walk through” Holy Week

with our Lord.

Tonight and every night this week, pray for the

catechumens coming into the Church at the Easter

Vigil.

Clean your closet of clothes you no longer need. Donate gently used items that you no longer wear to charity.

Forgive someone who hurt you; ask forgiveness of those whom you hurt.

Holy ThursdayThe Church celebrates the Last Supper, when Jesus

instituted the Eucharist and the priesthood. Celebrate by

going to church tonight.

Holy Saturday Jesus’ sacrifice gives us

hope. Today, make a list of everything for which you have hope in this life and

the next.

Good Friday Today is a day of fasting

and abstinence. Read and meditate on John’s account of Jesus’ passion and death

(John 18-19).

“Lent is the liturgical season of forty days which begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with the celebration of the Paschal Mystery (Easter Triduum). Lent is the primary penitential season in the Church’s liturgical year, reflecting the forty days Jesus spent in the desert in fasting and prayer” (Catechism of the Catholic Church).
